16. Main Features
17. MapStore Home Page Users can create and share contents with other users. They can browse their own contents and contents shared by other users using the Home page Optionally the creation of contents can be reserved only to administrators
18. MapStore Basic Flow Add data Create a Resource Share Save and set permissions Thanks to resources like Maps, Dashboards, GeoStories and Contexts
19. Maps The usual mapping interface and many tools available out-of-the-box: • Timeline / Elevation tools • Widgets (charts and tables) • Compare tool • Measure tool • Annotations • Visual Styler • ... Compare Measure Widgets Timeline Annotations Visual Styler
20. Dashboards • Charts, Maps, Tables and more that interact each other • Give life to more sophisticated visualizations!
21. GeoStories • Tell compelling stories by mixing maps, videos, images, etc.. • Users can scroll and interact with a really cool visual impact and a high level of customization using an advanced web editor
22. Application Contexts • MapStore allows to customize the viewer with tools (plugins) you need • Select standard MapStore plugin or develop and install your own • Maps inside MapStore can have specific tools reserved to particular use cases through App Contexts
23. Users and groups management MapStore has an user/group management system and the possibility to integrate it with LDAP, GeoServer and GeoFence to provide advanced security and resource/data access privileges with high level of granularity set
24. Downstream Project System Start from the standard MapStore and create your own project, replacing whatever you want, and keeping track only of your customizations (simplifying future updates). You can: • Customize Look and Feel • Create/replace pages • Configure and create your own plugins • Extend or replace the back-end with your own Well known projects like GeoNode and geOrchestra use this concept 🡪 More details here
